Igniters are located in which engine section?

• A. Intake Section
• B. Combustion Section
• C. Exhaust Section
• D. Accessory Section

Answer: (B)

Igniters are located in the combustion section, inside the burner/combustor where the fuel–air mixture is ignited. Their job is to provide the spark or hot surface needed to start combustion and to reignite the flame if it ever goes out. This placement makes sense because ignition must happen where fuel and air meet and can sustain a flame. They aren’t in the intake, where air first enters; nor in the exhaust, where combustion products exit; nor in the accessory section, which houses supporting hardware.
